Thank you HN for pointing me to this! It still exists on the internet of 2020, innocent creative brilliance with a nice dose of humor, not spoiled by commercial interests. This almost feels like the internet of yore
- breakfastduck 6y agoIsn't it just! Clear serious commitment on those making sure language is authentic. Hearing some of the instrumental covers makes me fantasize about all the 'bands' of musicians & the songs they'd play live, never to be written down & back before music could be recorded. I would love to imagine a group playing a song not quite unlike this in a tavern & people going wild... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5d8bnvO2JQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5d8bnvO2JQ (System of a Down - Toxicity - Medieval Style - Bardcore)
- natcombs 6y agoAfter watching this video, I now get why this exists. That was pretty cool
- Teever 6y agoMy personal favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK7olFGxw3Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK7olFGxw3Y It brought a rare smile to my face during the stressful times in March when COVID started blowing up.

- dwheeler 6y agoThis is an absolute delight. Some of these do a good job of being authentic, too. Some use thee and thou correctly with the correct conjugations, use "mine" instead of "my" in front of a vowel sound, and so on. Truly a lot of fun.
- C1sc0cat 6y agoYou have watched a knights tale?
- est31 6y agoWell, there are ads on those videos, so it's not that they don't get anything from it. But for most, it's probably not enough to make a living. PS: how do you feel about memes? They seem to fit into that niche that you describe.
- aidenn0 6y agoAlmost certainly the ad revenue goes towards the authors of the original song, due to how music licensing works.
- est31 6y agoThe youtube "remix" videos almost all have a youtube-generated "music in this video" section pointing to the original. Maybe only revenue is redirected if such a section is shown? The bardcore videos I checked don't have such a section.
- judge2020 6y agoThe lyrics and melody are probably so different that Content ID (the automated system) can't detect it's a cover of the existing songs. Copyright owners could still put in manual Content ID claims, though.
- PostThisTooFast 6y agoDefinitely. The automated system can’t ID covers.
- YokoZar 6y agoThese aren't samples or remixes, they're covers - which are handled differently in terms of music licensing.
- aidenn0 6y agoAnd the author of the song is due any royalties for broadcasting, regardless of the performer. David Paich gets paid every time a radio station plays wheezer's cover of Africa, while the wheezer gets no money for radio play of that song.
- sevensor 6y agoBetween the htop author's gracious response to his project having been forked, and now this, the internet has made me feel better about humanity twice in one week. That cover of Jolene is magnificent. This is how you keep old music alive!
